JakBaronKing's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[TF2 - The Question]

I crack up EVERY single time.

I love the faces.

Everytime I pause, the face is epic!

[Sonic Shorts: Volume 7]

You must REALLY love Sonic

Well animated.

A flash made for 'hardcore' sonic fans.

[The Love I'm Searching 4]

This is probably my favorite of your flashes...

Reading the story, the flash makes allot of sense.

But I kinda want to see this in book form or a flash series.
Cause right now it seems kinda jumbled.
It matches the music from the Rentals very well!

It's not a traditional 'anime' style. Which is what I like about it. No ridiculous BIG EYES or curvature female bodies. It's your own style and it works.

I kinda like this attitude of llu, being a bully but using the money to save for being a conductor. Still,want to see some justification for those kids. OH what a plot that would make!

You know...Hans Van Harkin has a publication studio, maybe you should make a manga.

Skaijo responds:

This IS a part of a flash series, the final part that is.

In order, the series is:

Don't Trip
This is UNMEI
The Love I'm Searching 4

There's also non-cannon fighting fodder sims with:

Trip Impact 1
Trip Impact 2

[SS - Human History 5]

This needs to be on DVD...

At least not for sale or whatever (to avoid legalities)

But it's probably the most amazing thing I've ever seen!

The curiosity it stirs up! it makes me excited, scared, and filled with anticipation of the future. This DESERVES to be watched, arouse interest, and encourage self-reasoning and acceptance to the 'possibilities'.

I think you should compile your recent work into 2 parts. The Spirit Science Lessons and the Spirit Science Human History.

[VG Cats Animated 4]

I agree, why can't they make fighting games easier

If you really think about it, Fighting Games' controls don't make allot of sense.
And character distribution in terms of type and strength are typical and off balance in power.

Super Smash Bros' formula works but too many characters are broken.

In Smash, the controls are good. EX: Control Forward means your reach is further, but leaves you vulnerable to counterattacks if you miss.

But the characters are WAY too off balanced.

There HAS to be a way to make a fighting game that is casual but amateurs vs experts depend on the basics of blocking, dodging, and extending your reach vs short range attacks. Like the old school ways but with better graphics.

Like...an extended attack should be countered with a duck then executed with a short ranged attack.

A Rock, Paper, Scissors effect. Certain attacks should be dodged or blocked a certain way and vise versa.

Instead, too many people are just spamming the same overly powerful moves over and over again. Executing cheep moves of putting you in the corner and beating you while your down.

In the end, people just having fun by winning with cheep moves.

Sure, there are some REALLY good fighters, but what do you accomplish learning a whole bunch of memorized button combinations?

Does it really simulate a fighting game experience?
Or does it show your good at memorizing?

Because once a new fighting title comes out, you'll have to memorize ANOTHER 100-200 button and control combinations per character.

Fighting games DO NOT simulate fighting games with their ridiculous button combination controls. Only in graphics and animation.

Intention of the moves should be easily incorporated into the controls and easier to learn.

Or perhaps in the future, as sensor motion becomes more popular and polished, a person's stamina to move their arms or legs would incorporate with the gameplay.

THAT would simulate a real fighting game.

It may limit the possible combination of special moves, but in the end, it would make fighting games more like a fighting game.

Instead of just memorizing a bunch of button combinations.
*That's my biggest gripe.

Fighting games LOOK cool. But to play it todays way is illogical.

MikeandTreyVideo responds:

Hear hear, bro! I've stopped playing fighting games a long time ago. I occasionally play Brawl with a bud, but the only fighting games I own is Soul Calibur V and Virtua Fighter 5. VF5 actually has a pretty deep fighting mechanic since you're able to control certain moves and string together custom combos and have a more "fighter" feel to it as opposed to games like Soul Calibur where most people memmorize the combos (as you've mentioned) and whip them out as often as possible.

I think the new Mortal Kombat has taken a step in the right direction as far as fighting styles go.

[November (The Orphan Cat)]

I knew this would make front page.

When I saw this I was thinking...Okay, this is something only someone on Newgrounds would really appreciate.

"LongCat" will soon inspire some fan art, just wait and see.

[Friendship is Magic Bitch]

Wow...Princess Celestia is a bitch

When I saw this, I thought someone did an animation on a famous Deviant Art submission.

I don't know who does your voices but it is F-'en hilarious.

You did a whole slur of Professor Layton flashes, I wouldn't mind seeing some more Pony Flashes.

If this keeps up, Newgrounds is going to need a 'Pony' collection.

[Brony Stages]

My concern is the negative associations...

The word "Brony" has stirred up some unpleasant assumptions.

Still, I'm sure it's all in the self control. It's nothing 'really' special, it's just a good show.

Not much going on for this flash. It's just sorta 'meh'. Like eating white bread with just a smidgin of butter.

TheWitchBoi responds:

It explains the steps of becoming a "Brony", the flash did its job, it provided info and entertainment. I didn't really see a whole lot of opportunity to put in other stuff action-wise

[SS - Human History 4]

HA - I got really excited at that ending

I KNEW that Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad are more than meets the eye.

I can't wait to hear this is explained.

There's so much controversy with each Religion.

Question: Is 2012 gonna be that 3 day "Void" phase? Where many with lower levels of consciousness might lose their memories?

Cause I was reading this Mayan belief about some kind of giant tree growing from the ground *(aka: The Tree of Life).

Ohh...Suddenly I can't wait till 2012. It's gonna be one heck of a surprise.

[Bronies]

Putting things in perspective....

There ARE some serious 'Bronies' out there.

And it seems the MLP franchise is getting a little out of control.

And this well animated Flash demonstrates such...behaviors.

---Off Topic---

((Possible theories and levels of Brony development.))

1. Mild - You simply enjoy the animation for it's charm due to the affiliation with Laurin Faust aka PPG and Fosters.

2. Concerning - Is when you start to buy the toys.

3. Creepy - You behave like the people in this Flash: blogging, forum discussing, and finding....arousal in "horse ass."

---Stop Calling Them Brony's---

The term "Brony" is loosely used and can have too many negative associations.
The term has now been integrated with the franchise as a term for a male Pony in the animated series.

So.....to best describe the people depicted in this Flash, comes a new term I feel is more appropriate and best suited towards them.

"Pony-philes" - noun: an adult; usually male, who is mentally, emotionally, and amorously obsessed with the 'My Little Pony Franchise'. Sexual arousal of animated children's characters are usually common behaviors in such individuals. If encountered, proceed with caution.

---Diagnosing a Pony-phila in Pony-philes----

The show's animation style is nothing new, but the stories and characters are quite charming. But how does it arousal such abnormal behavior? Anti-social behaviors often stem from a lack of security and self-esteme. Do to the show's peaceful and child-like theme, most shut-ins develop mental regression. That in combination with suppressed hormones encourages the sensual arousal. However, most psychiatrists explain that sexual association can even develop with anything and anyone. The more "it's" encouraged, the more the mind is condition. It could even be with a SHOE for crying out loud.

However there are simply those who just enjoy the show for it's animation. So it's nothing to be too concerned about. Don't be that ashamed if you like the show.

My advice, just be mindful of yourself.

And use this Flash as a reference guide to what is considered inappropriate behavior of Pony Obsession.
